From the Document: "This 'National Action Plan' represents our unwavering commitment to fighting human trafficking. It is built around the 'three pillars' laid out in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) -- Prevention, Protection, and Prosecution -- and lays out specific action items we are taking underneath each pillar. The 'National Action Plan' also emphasizes collaboration, cutting across all sectors, to make our efforts as effective as possible. Through this whole-of-government approach, the United States will use every tool at its disposal to combat human trafficking and build on existing momentum."

From the Document: "The National Police Foundation and the COPS [Community Oriented Policing Services] Office created the Averted School Violence (ASV) database to provide a platform for sharing information about averted incidents of violence in elementary, secondary, and higher education. This report examines 12 case studies of incidents in which planned violence targeting K-12 [Kindergarten-12th grade] schools was averted by the potential attackers' peers, school administrators, and other school safety stakeholders including school resource officers (SRO). Each case includes a discussion of lessons learned from examining the potential attackers' intentions and the actions of those who averted the attack."
